    I have been searching through Ebay looking at the various auctions/buy it now items for the Elite 430 Scuderia and was wondering if anyone could explain if the cars in the different boxes are also different and if so in what manner (i.e., colour? details?)

    A couple of auctions that show the 60th Anniversary box:

    Item #310016732988
    Item #150208544488

    A couple of auctions that show the regular Elite box:

    Item #160201171448
    Item #150204760790

    Thanks for any help!

    I just ordered one from this seller item #150208544488
    The car is the same (hot wheels part # L2976) for the 60th ann. red color. I think the differences you see between the two auctions (60th ann. editions) is just the "lighting" when the photo was taken. The car\box are the same
    I will post pics when i get mine... :)

    I think the last two are of a a non-metallic, non 60th anniversary, regular Elite (although, I think the the red on the Scuderia isn't straight Rosso Corsa, like all the other "red" Ferrari models)

    Does anyone else not like the 60th ann color? and are they planning on making a blue elite?

    I don't have either right now... I'm trying to get one that ISN'T that metallic red, but the pics on the ebay make it a little hard to tell which one is a regular, non-metallic, Elite... I have no clue if they're making the Elite in blue...

    Ok, so the 60th Ann box looks like a non-metallic car and the non-60th box looks like a metallic car???????

    Lennard, can you post pics??? I'm curious because i was told L2979 is the 60th ann. red (which also has 60th ann. labeled on the front of the box) which is a deeper "chrome-like" red then the normal L2973 Red (with no 60th annivesary label on the front)...
